Well, my dear blog buddies, I hope things start improving for me soon. I’m optimistic about it. I’ve been to the doctor and I’ve been prescribed medication to relieve my anxiety, and I have put an exercise plan in place, put myself on a diet (I’ve been comfort eating), I’m trying to get my finances in order (which I’m dreadful with), and I’m decorating my house…hence my absence.
One of the things on my list is doing up the house – long overdue! I’m moving a heap of stuff out, as I’m a bit of a hoarder, painting, and getting stuck into the garden as well. I kind of need this at the moment – manual labour soothes the soul – and I’ve got my plan, which I’m determined to stick to!
I’m really sorry, but I haven’t been able to visit anyone’s blogs. I have a heap to read, and comment on, but I will get to them.
I also have a painting or two that I want to work on. My dad is a huge fan of tall ships, especially tall ships in battle, so I’m hoping to paint him a seascape. I’d appreciate any help/advice on this, as I’ve never painted the sea. I have no idea how to go about it.
My father-in-law is also a fan of Dinky vans/trucks and I wanted to paint one for him, whilst my mother-in-law is a massive Jack Vettriano fan, so I’d like to do an homage to him. I’m not a fan of Vettriano, but being a Scottish artist, he is hugely popular here.
So, yes, there you have it. Those are some of the things on my list, and there’s more, but one thing at a time!
Hey Heather, I hope you do work through this time of yours. It sounds like you have a good plan for coming out of your "funk". Hope to see you drawing and painting in the future…when you're ready.
Thank you Peggy. Each day I tell myself this is the day I'm coming out of it, but each day passes and I'm still in it! I'm getting closer though. I feel it in my bones! Lol.
